2009 French Open (Roland-Garros) - R1: Andy vs Juan Ignacio Chela
Permalink  

Tomorrow's draw is out & Andy's will be the fourth & final match on Court Lenglen, after two women's matches & one men's singles.  The head-to-head stands at 3-1 to Andy, the one win for Chela being in the 2006 AO, but none of the matches was played on the dirt.  Quite a demanding opener for Andy, methinks... pray.gif

Cannot see Murray losing this honestly. Chela is not what he was...even on clay Andy should win in straights. He has come on so well on dirt this year.

Aaaargh, BBCi coverage starts on Monday. . . I hope they change their minds and start it tomorrow.

Edit - Phew! The page which details tennis coverage is still showing the start on the 25th, but the main BBC tennis page says it will start on the 24th.smile

Cheeky little serve and volley tactic takes Andy to 5-2 up. Been nice since the first game

This was a much better opening match than the ones that took place in the last three Masters 1000s on clay. With this type of performance I could see him reaching the semis. Let's hope he can maintain it.

Super start from Andy. Looked in fine form. I think he'll go far this fortnight.

Wow, that was a great victory. Was Chela playing badly or was Andy just too good?
